More than you think!

if you work from home, this is for you! Much more useful information than you think from the title. I thought it was a useful perspective and wish more employers understood this

Enjoyable short article

I enjoyed listening to this short article for my lunch break. Not much new information. No really useful tips, but still a nice way to oas a lonely lunch break.

who is this for?

okay firstly, I wanna say that I enjoyed the narration. good job on that one.

but this little writeup is just kinda.. dumb? It seems like something written by the professional managerial class for the professional managerial class. I honestly don't even know how to summarize the ideas here. Moss seems to say that tech in the workplace has become a factor which leads to loneliness, and that we should become friends with our coworkers to overcome this? I know the read is only 30 minutes but there was literally no substance.

Moss's thesis was stated better and more concisely 23 years ago when Blink-182 said "Work sucks - I know."
